I have a general question for everyone. You may answer in as few or as many words as you need.

Have you ever had a religious/spiritual experience? How would you describe it?

I've had a spiritual experience every time I've had a modification performed. For me getting pierced is the essence of spirituality. The sensation of the piercing brings me to a sense of awakening almost. Essentially I feel as if there is a wave of calm and inner peace. It is hard to fully explain my personal experience, piercing just makes me feel one with myself, right with myself.

My most spiritual experience however was my Triforce tattoo. It is a representation of 2 things: my brothers and myself, and of Mind Body & Soul. My brothers are dear to my heart and nothing is more important to me than them. So, you can imagine that when I was getting it done I could call it nothing but a spiritual event. The pain translated into a release of any strain I had been under. As each step of the tattoo was completed I felt more and more in tune with myself and with my brothers. They were with me as I was getting it done and I kept feeling as if our bond was just growing.
